• Secondary hyperparathyroidism,
  or SHPT, is a common but
  serious complication of chronic
  kidney disease.
• SHPT results in an overproduction
  of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which stimulates bone to release
  calcium and phosphorus at an
  accelerated rate.
• SHPT can lead to chronic kidney
  disease—mineral and bone
  disorder (CKD-MBD).

Talk to your doctor to learn more about how SHPT can affect your bone health.
